Description

Exotics Racing is a private 1.3 mile racetrack [4] that can accommodate speeds up to 130 miles per hour. [5] It is located at the Speed Vegas motorsports park. Visitors can rent exotic cars to drive across the track, and receive driving lessons from a professional instructor who accompanies them. [6] [7]

The track rents a fleet of 50 supercars, including vehicles from Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Audi and Mercedes. [5] [8] Drivers are accompanied by a professional guide who can coach them on how to safely reach maximum speed on the track. [9] [10]

The company also provides ride-along passenger experiences with professional drivers. [11] [12]

History

Exotics Racing was founded by Romain Thievin and David Perisset. Thievin had previously established a similar company, Cascadevents, in France and Perisset had formerly worked for Lehman Brothers. They developed the idea for the company in 2008, when they visited Las Vegas to scout locations and meet with city officials regarding the project. [13] The track was opened in 2009. [14]

The company was combined with Speed Vegas in 2021, when Thievin became Speed Vegas' CEO. [15]
